Originally created by @doctrinebot on GitHub (Mar 21, 2010).

Jira issue originally created by user jakajancar:

Affects trunk.

A and B have a One-To-One mapping, with A being the owning side of the relationship. No cascade persist is set.

// Create entity A
$a = new A();
$em->persist($pt);
$em->flush();

echo "Created A {$b->getId()}\n";

// Create B and add it to A
$b = new B();
$a->setB($b);
//$em->persist($b); // oops, forgot

$em->flush();

echo "Created B {$b->getId()}\n";

Expected: either throw an exception saying that A is attempting to reference an instance of B that is not persisted, or silently ignore the field.

Actual: Cryptic notice:

E_NOTICE (8): Undefined index: 0000000069d80795000000006ebfc57d (Doctrine/ORM/UnitOfWork.php:1903)

The issue you have is the same as if you use result cache. The entity is not managed by EM.
Maybe an "Entity of class " . get_class($entity) . " not managed by EntityManager." exception is the best solution here.

Cheers,

Given that the combination:

$hash = spl*object*hash($object);
return $this->somefoo[$hash];

is probably one of the most called constructs in the complete code I tend to disagree with a check on each and everyone of them. However i to see the tendency towards errors of this kind as annoying, but maybe we can catch them earlier in those spots where they occour most often?
